About the Beacon 200 Rig
Monitor
The Beacon 200 Rig Monitor is a fixed-mounted, continuous-monitoring
gas detection instrument. This gas monitor is capable of detecting gas at
two locations. The display screen simultaneously displays the gas
readings.
The Rig Monitor displays the current gas readings on an LCD display which
is visible through the window in the cover (front face) and provides a 4 - 20
mA signal which indicates the target gas reading for use by a recording
device or programmable controller. Three sets of relay contacts, two
controlled by the gas alarms and one by the fail alarm, rated at 115 VAC 10
amps are available for controlling devices such as lights or horns or for
controlling higher rated relays. The alarm 1 relay is factory wired to the
strobe/horn and is not available for field use.
Two instrument programs allow you to display and change channel and
calibration settings. They are the Channel Control & Setup Program and
the Calibration Program.
